THE TRUNK LINES.
Predicted Western Railway War.

New YORK, May "A writer In the Times
says that President Keep, Of the Northwestern
road, is about to resign, and those who are
posted say that this means a more aggressive
policy on the part of the corporation than 1t
has heretofore pursued. Mr.. Keep is a man
OF peace, but If MIR. Hughitt succeeds him,
which is thought to be- likely, the Northwest
ern will be In war paint. 1t may be urged
that the war viii be strictly defensive, but
that will not make it less damaging to those
with whom II fights. A regular trunk line"
fight will and must come sooner or later
among these far western roads, for they are
building against each other to an extent
equalled only by the Darallelllng which was
done some years ago In the east and which so
Frustrated he roads between New York and
Chicago that they have not recovered yet.
They are slowly crawling up again. while tho
